The prevail opinion in Britain I think it´s that I´m mad
"There’s this misconception these days that a thematic score means a dated-sounding score. This, of course, is a cop out. There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The art of composing modern scores is the having the skill set to keep motifs alive while being relevant. But too many times, newer composers have no idea what fully developed themes are because they grew up on scores that are nothing more than ostinatos and “buahs.”

Boogie Nights es un film que tiene poderes, como puede ser que un film me haga reir tanto sin ser una comedia.
Otros poderes: Burt Reynolds, Heather Graham y sobretodo Mark Walhberg, nunca han estado mejor.
No lo tengo muy claro, pero debe ser de las pocas pelis que tenga: Cine dentro del cine y del dentro del cine otra vez, me refiero al documental de "Tetitas de Miel" (Amber Waves -- Julianne Moore) sobre la figura de Dirk Diggler, simplemente una apología narcisista sin desperdicio alguno!!!
Sobre la lista del compañero Branagh/Doyle, opino lo mismo pero con el detalle que aún tengo que ver "Inherent Vice".
Sobre la magistral música de Greenwood (otro que viene del rock, cómo Elfman, y deslumbra escribiendo para formaciones orquestales), esto escribió un amigo colega de profesión sobre There Will Be Blood. Concisión extrema.
This is one the most interesting scores of the year.
Jonny Greenwood - of Radiohead fame - writes for a large string section, sometimes with piano, string quartet. It's mostly textural, but never droning, Greenwood must certainly enjoy the Polish school of string writing (Lutoslawski, Kilar, Pendercki).
The results are really strong. It's dark, sad, very much in your face. Recorded at Abbey Road by Simon Rhodes, the music really shines all along. Not an easy listen, but a very rewarding one.
Who said there's no originality in film scores today?
Strongly recommended.
La música de The Master estaba bastante bien, y la de Puro Vicio es otra joya.

Ah, ok, que lo de Rock fue posterior. Tiene formación clásica.
He's conservatory trained and is the BBC composer-in-residence. that means he writes and orchestrates his own music.

Ya en su próximo proyecto vuelve a contar con Day-Lewis y Greenwood así que...
Eso sí, abstenerse a esperar otro There Will Be Blood. Este director se reinventa en cada película que hace.
